Based on my own experiences, I'd definitely plant some rosemary. Smells great and keeps pests away. If you’re wanting flowers you can cut, runnuculus and dahlias are beautiful.

Mostly by walking the dog and enjoying the great outdoors on such a beautiful day! We make it our lifestyle to reduce, reuse and recycle along with cutting out chemicals that are harmful to the earth and us. Happy Earth Day!

We've been celebrating a bit all week. We planted a new tree (pink oak) on Sunday, bought a new eco-friendly dishwasher yesterday, and I'm all set to plant my vegetable and herb garden tonight! We had a similar situation to you...dead buses in a small spot. So, last spring we also dug up the bushes (HUGE roots) and started our little garden - which did quite well! Good luck with your edible garden! Happy Earth Day! We’ve been celebrating a bit all week.

Stay tuned... xo, Sherry Oh and JKH, not only do we have azaleas, we have a whole lotta azaleas! Probably over 50 and we're not even exaggerating. They line our driveway, the yard in the back, and are even planted four rows deep on the side of our house. We love them! And we're so thankful that we inherited them with the house (and didn't have to plant a single one!).

Unfortunately we're getting ready to re-do our entire backyard, complete with 40 yards of topsoil and grading. Just curious, what's the plan for that old light fixture on your brick column? I love the shape and design, but it looks like it needs some TLC. I love the ideas of an edible garden with herbs, veggies and fruits.

I would love to do raised garden beds but our yard is mostly shade as we have tons of trees. I won’t be doing it today but I have plans tomorrow to pick up some veggies and plant my container garden.

Picked it up at Lowe's earlier this week for $4.96 and it's a kids set. Cute! I did this while sharing verses from the Bible about God's creation and that we need to be good stewards and take care of what we've been given- that's our version of Earth Day, anyways! :) My 2 1/2 year old daughter and I just started a mini greenhouse for her.

We're transitioning from the traditional water-hogging lawn to a xeriscape. I ordered books on native CA plants and DIY xeriscaping from Amazon and am so excited to get them and start planning!
